Instructions
Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Add 10 cups water and 2 tsp salt to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, peel, then finely chop shallot. Halve tomatoes. Zest lemon, then cut into wedges. Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
Add tortellini to the boiling water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 2-3 min. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water (dbl for 4 ppl), then drain tortellini.
Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add pine nuts to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden-brown, 2-3 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on pine nuts so they don't burn!) Transfer pine nuts to a plate. Set aside.
Heat the same pan over medium. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then shallots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until shallots soften, 2-3 min Add tomatoes and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes are tender, 2-3 min.
Increase heat to medium-high, then add Cream Sauce Spice Blend. Cook, stirring often, until veggies are coated, 1 min. Add pesto and reserved pasta water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly, 2-3 min. Season with salt and pepper. Add tortellini, spinach, lemon zest, half the Parmesan and 1 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl). Remove the pan from heat. Stir until spinach wilts, 1-2 min.
Divide tortellini between bowls. Sprinkle pine nuts and remaining Parmesan over top. Squeeze a lemon wedge over top, if desired.
